Default The New Spec. SL2!!!!

Anybody interested in the new limited edition Specialized Tarmac SL2 raw carbon? I was at Surf City Cyclery yestarday and Shawn had one on display. If I didn't already have the SL, a wife and 4 kids....it would be mine! It is a 52cm and Gawd Awful Beautiful. In person it is cooooooler than in print. Oh, did I mention the damn thing weighs in sub 15 lbs and whispers, "I wanna go really fast!" Wish I was made of money.

Lkn2Ryd - out!

It is, without a doubt, a badass bike. How did the Sram Red gruppo look?

BTW, my gf is about 5'3", and she rides a 52 Specialized Ruby, and it may be a tad big for her.

SheDevil you can't back-pedal that beating to us midget rock stars. The idea of getting so far sooo fast is nice though. Thanks Steppie mentioning PF. He is a spinning lunatic. S54MCoupe - the Red group was darn sexy. It is pretty trick in person and the tail end of the bike was feather light next to my dura-ace setup. The cost is steeeeep - like $7700.00 and loss of all companionship from your significant other (they will have to find their own space after you build your shrine to The Bike.

Thanks, SheDevil. I owe you a hug!

If I still have a job after Monday and they have a payment program I might head on down there......

Shiat, there goes the Colnago.
